| I think what they are saying at that he or she just about bounce off the wall with no assistance. Or at least lok that way he does something funny going to,the first i dont,know if you notice it almost as he she does not hunt the first. But when u touch the horse he she are there and turn. I,would like to look at slo mo. Would give the answer, u turn the first and across the pen you go and second and third,are good. He is a nice horse. I think its a stutter step kinda like he is looking and you touch him and he says okay i there. Nice critter. If you watch going to first once you pass timmers that is where he looks and you touch him and he turns. He just needs more hauling. In 18 months i will be in same boat. As my grand daughter of cc i will be seansing. |

The Dream Park is a rather nice facility. Parking is all on dirt/gravel, but both indoors are quite nice, the barns are very nice and the outdoor arena is huge. The Bulls and Barrels events are hactic, with a TON of stuff all going on in one arena that gets sectioned off into many smaller pens. The ground had been interesting when I was travelling there last year, but it seems as though they have it figured out much better now. |

The ground was certainly the best I have ever known it last Saturday. Last winter, there were many times that there was a thin layer of powder on top and then you hit straight hard pan. I liked the ground well enough last week, even for my big 16.2 HH, butt dragging, rollback horse that I'm going to take a couple of nicer Open horses with me on Tuesday. |

Location: Under The Big Sky Of Texas | Nice horse, I like that he really listens to you, you can tell hes green but a really good student and willing to learn, got nice flex to him and soft mouth. Andys going to have this colt going really nice in the next few months, and love the way Andy rides, he's a real hustler and gets his job done 
But question about the arena, looks tiny, whats the times in it? The 3rd barrel looks so close.  |

It's a horrible setup. Very wide and squatty. The timers are right as you enter, with no real line to the first. Good Pro horses will clock a mid 15 on that pattern. The name of the game is to lope in, run as hard as you can to the second, try not to bounce off the fence at the third and run hard home. |

I saw were the timers were and I thought to myself that this arena is going to be tricky, the bigger long strided horse will be on top of the 3rd barrel in two to 3 strides, you got to be quick thinking I bet when you go in. And your coming in stright form the bright sunlight into the arena right? You got to be really on top of your game at this place I bet  |
